I never look on these boards, so, sorry for the late answer! I hope this helps:
William Callaway 1804-1879 was one of the 10 children of John Callaway (1775-1825) and
Martha Robertson Booker (1778-1831). John is one of the 3 children of the 2nd marriage to
Elizabeth Jones Hoy of the notorious Col. Richard Callaway (1717-1780), son of Joseph
Callaway Jr. (1680-1732) and Catherine. John Callaway, though quite a bit younger (20yrs)
is the 1st cousin of Flanders Callaway, the man who helped rescue and then married Jemima
Boone, Daniel Boone's daughter. The charts get confusing, especially when Col.
Richard's second marriage gets left out. He had 12 children with his 1st wife Frances
Walton, who died after giving birth to #12. Interestingly, William's brother,
Richard, married Ann R. Crawford, possibly a relation to your Crawford.
I am the 7-greats granddaughter of Joseph Callaway Jr:
Jos Jr--Col Rich--John--Richard--Samuel H.--James R.--Lael R.--Mary C.--Richard C.--Mary

I am working off my short forms right now, I do have more detailed info, not much on
William himself, but on siblings and ancestors.
